My Country
Please join me
 in this moment
 of silence.
 I’m mourning
 the loss of
 my country.
 It was such a great
 little thing
 With good
 honest people.
 Please excuse
 my tears.
 It died
 of a rare cancer
 called
 Big Corporation.
 It corrupted 
 the heart and soul
 of my Country.
 I remember how
 My country gave me all
 My rights
 And I could play knowing
 a hope of tomorrow
 Was there
 That education 
 and freedom
 was right over
 the horizon
 waiting for me
 to come
 of age.
 But this cancer
 slowly but surely,
 (or was it 
 fast and 
 inevitable?),
 took over
 my country
 and all 
 the honest people
 Turned corrupt
 and greedy
 and evil
 and intolerable.
 They took away that hope
 on the horizon.
 I know my country,
 is waiting for me.
 At least I hope.
 But for now
 let’s bow our 
 heads in mourning,
 For my country.
